About FireflyHive

FireflyHive is an independent publication covering the practical side of travel and location-flexible work — packing smart, working remotely across borders, managing money on the move, and finding the right places to live and work when you are not tied to one city.

It is written by Ed, a frequent traveller with a background spanning both personal adventures and work-driven trips across dozens of countries. No manufactured nomad lifestyle — just a lot of time in airports, co-working spaces, and short-term rentals, and the research habit that comes with wanting to get things right before you go.

What we cover

• Packing & Carry-on — how to travel light without sacrificing comfort or practicality
• Digital Nomad Life — visas, destinations, and the realities of location-flexible work
• Remote Work — home office setup, productivity, and working across time zones
• Finance & Tax — banking, budgeting, and tax obligations for people who move
• Co-living & Coworking — finding the right spaces to live and work when you are away from home

A note on research

Where articles cover tax, visa, or legal topics, we do our best to reflect current rules and link to primary sources — but every situation is different. Always verify with a qualified professional before making decisions based on anything you read here.
